Relaxation Wellbeing
Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) is a relaxation technique that involves systematically tensing and relaxing different muscle groups in your body. This practice helps you become aware of physical tension and learn to release it. Research has shown that PMR can reduce stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep quality. By alternating between tension and relaxation, you learn to recognize the difference between tense and relaxed muscles, making it easier to identify and release tension when it occurs. Regular practice can help reduce chronic pain, anxiety, and stress-related physical symptoms.
